**Need help raising money for your child’s school, sports team or club? A Mom’s 
Guide to School Fundraising by Sarah Barrett answers all your questions in a light-
hearted, informative and entertaining way.**

Parents all over the country are taking action and working with their schools to
raise money.

This book will give you the ideas you need — whether you want to go big or stay 
small, whether you have a ton of time or need to raise funds quickly — to bring 
money into your kids’ school and make a difference.

Sarah Barrett has been fundraising at her daughters’ school for over five years.
She is a former teacher and small business owner with an MA in Education who has
traded in her full-time career to dedicate her time and energy to fundraising for
her neighbourhood school.

In this guide, you will learn how to:

 * Write solicitation letters that yield donations large and small.
 * Use email marketing techniques to increase fundraising and participation.
 * Get kids involved so they understand the importance of giving back.
 * Produce and promote events tailored for your school community.
 * Evaluate the Return On Investment (ROI) for each event so you’re not investing
   time and energy into an event that makes only a small fraction of what you need.
